The Metra Union Pacific-North Line train, No. 341, had been scheduled to arrive in Kenosha at 6:27 p.m. but stopped near the North Chicago station after hitting the pedestrian, according to a Metra alert.

North Chicago was not a scheduled stop on the train's route, Cooper said.

"From what we saw last night, the signals and everything else were working," Cooper said.

Toxicology results are pending, but Cooper said Currie died from injuries sustained when he was hit by the train, according to the coroner's statement.
